3 HUD VAWA Guidance comes from: Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013: Implementation in HUD Housing Programs Final Rule (Federal Register November 16, 2016) HUD Notice H : VAWA 2013-Additional Guidance for Multifamily Owners and Management Agents Form HUD-5380 Form HUD-5381 Form HUD-5382 Form HUD-5383 NCSHA Recommended Practices (December 2017) Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Pratt Memo, February 9,
4 History Leading Up to VAWA 1871 Alabama makes it illegal to beat your wife 1976 Pennsylvania becomes the first state to pass legislation allowing orders of protection for battered women 1978 National Coalition Against Sexual Assault and National Coalition Against Domestic Violence formed 1984 Duluth Project introduces the first coordinated criminal justice response model to domestic violence 1985 Surgeon General Koop identifies domestic violence as a public health issue 1988 Congress amends the Victims of Crime Act requiring state victim compensation programs to make awards to victims of domestic violence National Council on Domestic and Sexual Violence 4
5 History Leading Up to VAWA In the early 1990s, the Senate Judiciary Committee conducted a three-year investigation into the causes and effects of violence against women Through this process, I have become convinced that violence against women reflects as much a failure of our nation s collective moral imagination as it does the failure of our nation s laws and regulations. We are helpless to change the course of this violence unless, and until, we achieve a national consensus that it deserves our profound public outrage. Violence Against Women- The Response to Rape: Detours on the Road to Equal Justice Senator Joe Biden 5
6 Violence Against Women Act Violence Against Women Act signed into law as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 Key Points First federal law against battering Required a coordinated community response to domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking crimes Strengthened federal penalties for repeat sex offenders Included federal rape shield law Increased funding to domestic violence service providers Required states and territories to enforce protective orders issued by other states/territories Created legal relief for battered immigrants Did not address protection in housing programs HUD Final Rule on VAWA Implementation 2018 National Center for Housing Management 6
7 Violence Against Women Act Even though VAWA 1994 uses the term women, the language used in the law is not gender specific When questioned on why the Act specifically names women, Biden responded The reality is that the vast majority of victims of domestic violence are women and children, and most outreach organizations take those demographics into consideration when providing services The bottom line is violence is violence no matter what gender the victim. Because of that, the Violence Against Women Act applies to all victims of domestic violence, irrespective of their gender. Nothing in the act denies services, programs, funding or assistance to male victims of violence. 7
8 VAWA Reauthorizations VAWA was reauthorized by Congress in 2000, 2005, and 2013 VAWA 2005 was the first version of this law that introduced provisions that applied to affordable housing programs, specifically: Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher and Projectbased) Public Housing Supportive Housing Program for the Homeless 8
9 VAWA Reauthorization Act of 2013 Signed into law by President Obama on March 7, 2013 Title VI Safe Homes for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking covers housing protections Builds upon the protections established in VAWA 2005 covering approximately 4 million additional housing units Requires impacted agencies to establish their own regulations for implementing protection, including model transfer plans 9
10 VAWA Title VI: Safe Homes VAWA Title VI Section 41411(b) An applicant for or tenant of housing assisted under a covered housing program may not be denied admission to, denied assistance under, terminated from participation in, or evicted from the housing on the basis that the applicant or tenant is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, if the applicant or tenant otherwise qualifies for admission, assistance, participation, or occupancy. 10
11 Covered Programs- VAWA 2013 Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly (except direct loans and 202/162) Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Section 236 programs Section 221(d)(3) BMIR Programs Project-based Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Public Housing Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) 2016 National Center for Housing Management, Inc. 11
12 Covered Programs- VAWA 2013 HOME Investment Partnerships Homeless programs under Title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act The Housing Trust Fund Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program Rural Housing Section 515 Program NOT Covered- Housing assisted under HUD s Indian Housing 2016 National Center for Housing Management, Inc. 12
13 Federal Register November 16, 2016 (FR-5720-F-03) HUD Final Rule: VAWA Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013: Implementation in HUD Housing Programs Final Rule 2016 Effective Date: December 16, This Final Rule covers only HUD Housing Programs and not the IRS s LIHTC or the Department of Agriculture s Rural Housing Program.

14 VAWA Applicant/Tenant Core Protections 1. An applicant cannot be denied admission/assistance based upon an adverse factor if determined to be a direct result of the applicant s status as a victim. 2.

Note: VAWA protections do NOT cover guests, unassisted members, and live-in aides. 15
16 VAWA Definitions Adverse Factor Any factor that can be used as a basis for denying admission or assistance, terminating assistance or participation in a program, or evicting a tenant. However, if a denial or termination of assistance or eviction is required by a federal statute, based on a particular adverse factor, the O/A must comply with the statute, even if the adverse factor is a direct result of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking Notice H , pg. 7 16
17 Adverse Factors Examples of Adverse Factors that might be a direct result of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking: Poor credit history Placing utility bills in a victim s name and refusing to pay Preventing the victim from obtaining/maintaining employment Poor rental history Noise complaints Criminal activity Criminal Activity Forcing a victim to write bad checks 911 abuse 2016 National Center for Housing Management, Inc. 17
18 Adverse Factors To determine whether an adverse factor is a direct result of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking: 1. The applicant or tenant must: a) Inform the O/A of their status as a victim b) Provide enough information for the O/A to make a determination regarding the adverse factor 2. O/A evaluates the information and makes a determination 3. If further information is needed, O/A can request as long as it: a) Is in accordance with the O/A s policies b) Is in accordance with VAWA regulations c) Does not violate confidentiality requirements 2016 National Center for Housing Management, Inc. 18
19 VAWA Housing Provider Protections 1. When notified of a court order, the housing provider has the right to comply with the court order with respect to: The right of access or control of property, including civil protection orders The distribution or possession of property among members of the household 2. A housing provider can evict or terminate assistance of a tenant for any violation of the lease not related to the tenant s status as a victim Housing providers need to be sure they are not holding the victim to a higher standard than other tenants 19
20 VAWA Housing Provider Protections 3. If the housing provider can demonstrate actual or imminent threat to other tenants, employees, or service providers, the housing provider is allowed to terminate assistance/evict the tenant Actual or imminent threats include words, gestures, actions, or other indicators if they meet the standard provided in the definition of actual or imminent threat Eviction or termination of assistance should only be utilized when there is no other action that will reduce or eliminate this threat, including, but not limited to: Transferring the victim to another unit; Barring the perpetrator from the property; Contacting law enforcement; or Other legal remedies.
